The House Next Door Double Heddle Tea Towels

CA$10.99

Cool, classic, and rooted in home—The House Next Door is a colour-and-weave project inspired by the cheerful, brightly painted houses that shape the neighbourhoods here in Halifax and across the East Coast. It’s a reminder that inspiration doesn’t need to be far away; sometimes it’s waiting right outside the window.

Woven with two heddles to achieve the proper sett, this project guides you through three timeless colour-and-weave effectsLog Cabin, Houndstooth, and a custom block design—all in one warp. You’ll work step-by-step through double-heddle threading, tensioning, and weaving at 20 ends per inch, gaining confidence as the patterns grow beneath your hands.

*Note: this is NOT a beginner project: weavers should have previous experience weaving with 2 heddles!
